Blogs Hurting Talk Radio?
Anecdotally, I’ll offer up personal corroboration of BizzyBlog’s take on the topic.
Five-plus years ago, people listened to Rush, Liddy, and the rest to learn things the mainstream media either would not report, or would not emphasize.
Today, those who follow the blogs have 24-7 access to alternative information. Many of us can predict what Rush, Hannity, Franken and the rest are going to talk about even before the show starts, and we can feel pretty confident that we won’t learn much that is new. So, why listen? Since the left-of-center blogosphere is just as active, one would expect that many of them feel the same way about Franken, Imus (whose program has gone through a steep decline), et al.
This is exactly on target. It used to be that the talk radio shows created the news, and generated hot topics. Now they are simply hours behind what is already buzzing in the blogosphere. For those with computer access and a good set of RSS feeds during the day, listening to talk radio has become very predictable and redundant.
